New Photography Commission with Powerhouse and Office of the 24-Hour Economy Commissioner Announced
A new photography co-commission that showcases the rich and diverse night-time culture of New South Wales has today been announced by Powerhouse and the Office of the 24-Hour Economy Commissioner at the 2024 NEON Forum.
Four NSW photographers have been selected to capture a series of photographs taken across Sydney’s Inner City, Western Sydney and Regional NSW that depict the diversity and breadth of contemporary nightlife. The images will contribute to a photographic record that will be used to promote the vitality of NSW and will be exhibited in 2025.
Photojournalist Andrew Quilty is a six-time Walkley Award winner, including the Gold Walkley, journalism’s highest honour. He is best known for his thought-provoking documentation of the impacts of war on communities, including in Afghanistan, where he spent a decade before recently returning to Australia.
